"A lovely cosy & peaceful cottage with glorious views."
Well equipped and very comfortable. Although in quiet, rural location it is very near some great places for example; Wirksworth, Matlock, the Ecclesbourne Railway & Crich Tramway Museum. A fantastic getaway!
-
"Had lovely few days stay cottage nice and cosy with great views and three horses looking over the fence."
Just be aware the garden is not enclosed if taking your pooch. Couple of pubs close by The bear we had to drive to Malt Shovel which is within walking distance. I would definitely recommend a stay here and we hope to return next year.
-
"The cottage was fabulous."
It had everything just like home. Could not fault it. The added bonus every morning opening the curtains to see the beautiful view and the three houses looking over the fence.
-
"We had a lovely week at Wigwell Barn, a comfortable cosy cottage with unbeatable views and lots to do in the area."
Would recommend eating at The Bear Hotel, the food is excellent.
-
"We have stayed at Wigwell Barn before and so were looking forward to returning."
The cottage has everything you need, the bed is comfortable, the shower is hot and the cottage itself is warm and cosy. Thank you for yet another lovely stay, we will most definitely be back.

"Very clean and comfortable cottage."
Well equipped and furnished. Homely touches made all the difference. Wonderful far reaching views from sitting room and garden. Good location for visiting Chatsworth, Bakewell and Buxton. Would highly recommend and hope to return soon.

"Such a cosy little cottage in a very pretty part of the country."
Lots of little 'extras' provided by the property owner, such as cleaning products, bin bags, milk, toilet rolls, tea towels, kitchen roll; so need to pack all the usual self-catering requirements you would need. We were also left a very welcome bottle of wine along with some 'doggy' treats for our retriever Mabel - very kind. The wine came in very handy to celebrate England win their Euros 2024 football semi-final against the Netherlands....which we watched in the cosy sitting room on a very comfortable sofa. We would definitely book this property again!

-
"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Wigwell Barn."
The property was just as described, very comfortable and very quiet, a welcome and relaxing break. Our hairy boys were made very welcome and thoroughly enjoyed the outdoor space. Thank you for a lovely few days.

"Such an amazing place to stay."
Cozy, comfortable and with awesome views. Wished we could have stayed longer
-
"Lovely cosy cottage with beautiful views of the open countryside."
Everything you need is provided and the owner lives on site if you need anything. We were able to come and go as we wished without being disturbed. Great place for taking your dog on holiday and plenty of walking options and a dog friendly pub nearby. Couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay. :-)

"Had a lovely warm welcome from Colin and Diane."
Was blown away by the cottage, so homely and well laid out. Had everything we needed and the view was to die for. Will definitely be returning in the not too distant future and will certainly recommend to family and friends! Thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
-
"Owners very friendly and helpful would go again"
-
"Generally a very nice cottage in an ideal location."
Fabulous views, friendly & helpful owner. Excellent (very) local eggs! Some small 'refreshing' of the cottage is probably due before the new season to make it perfect. Sykes listing needs some updating, specifically the directions refer to a phone box which is no longer there and the cottage didn't have a DVD as listed.
-
"Perfect little cottage, everything you would need."
Extremely clean and comfortable. Diane and Colin are there if you need them but they don't bother you. Beautiful views, short walk to tge Malt Shovel pub whi made us feel very welcome. Can't wait to go back ❤️
-
"One of the most comfortable cottages we have stayed in."
If you’re taking your 4 legged friend then make sure you take bowls and beds as none are provided. When contacting the owner for key pick up make sure to get directions as quite difficult to find. Good base for the surrounding area with Matlock 15 minutes away and Chatsworth half an hour. Would book again.
-
"Lovely location, beautiful views, perfect for our dog to sit in the garden and watch the horses and cows."
Only addition would be a little more cupboard space, we are true self-catering guests and not a great deal of space for our store-cupboard food. Would recommend this cottage, overall a lovely stay.
-
"Very nice area Hosts really friendly and helpful quiet and good place for the dog"
-
"A relaxing week spent at the very quiet and comfortable Wigwell Barn with superb views."
Very nice watching the cows, calves and chickens etc. Owner Diane very friendly and helpful. We are returning later in the year.
-
"We had a lovely stay at wigwell Barn."
.. There were amazing views around the property, lots of places to visit close by as well as some nice walks around wigwell barn. Coupled with some great weather led to a very pleasant stay ...
-
"Lovely, comfortable, quiet accommodation."
Owners next door... there if needed but otherwise unobtrusive. Only minuses Narrow parking, steps to front door access and shower requires stepping into a high sided bath. So accommodation, may present problems for persons physically challenged. Otherwise, a superb place that I really hope I will be able to return to in the future.
-
"Nice cottage with lovely views."
Would return
-
"Very well appointed cottage."
Ideally situated for walking in mid-Derbyshire. Friendly owners. One of the best value places we have stayed.
Pleasure to have you to stay thank you Property Owner

"My dog, Millie and I had such a lovely peaceful stay!"
I booked this last minute and it was very quick and easy. The hosts are very friendly and accommodating and I had a query before booking which was answered in no time at all. The garden was secure and a great size so my dog really enjoyed it! My dog is nervous and there is a free roaming sheep dog but we only saw her/him once and we were able to close the gate to the garden so this really wasn’t an issue. There are chickens in view too but again, these were fenced away so Millie soon got bored of trying. We had some lovely winter walks around the local area and had relaxing evenings at the cottage watching TV and reading. The only issue was a dripping/tapping noise on the last night when it was raining so I barely got any sleep! Other than that, I thoroughly enjoyed it and I would recommend for those who are wanting a basic but comforting and cosy stay.

"Absolutely lovely, clean, friendly and homely place."
It's in the middle of nowhere, but its in the middle of everywhere. Close by to lots of attractions. My 13 year old arthritic and almost blind staffy loved it too, she became like a puppy again. Will definitely come again and have recommended it to colleagues at work too. Excellent place to recharge your batteries.

A larger sign on the property's gate would be a distinct advantage.

"Very friendly hosts, very good quiet location, exceptional views."

"The cottage was delightful,so fresh and clean."
We had everything needed for our stay and we settled in stress free. The farm was in the most idilic spot with traffic noise unnoticed which was a welcome change for us . We had everything we needed in the area close bye from shops to places of interest but it was the walking we will remember which we never tired of. Watching a calf being born and keeping track of its progress will stay with us for ever. The best stay and can't wait to return again.
-

-
"We loved our long weekend at Wigwell Barn."
We received a lovely warm welcome from the owners on arriving. The barn was spotlessly clean, warm, comfortable and just like home from home. The scenery from the window was just amazing and so was the peace and quiet, we enjoyed lots of walks around the area. We visited Chatsworth House for the Christmas event, which was only 12 miles away. The house and gardens were fabulous and well worth a visit. We also visited Cromford Mill and Wirksworth. Both Chatsworth and Cromford were dog friendly. We would not hesitate to stay at Wigwell Barn again and our dog enjoyed it too.
-
"A really lovely area to stay and was great to be able to bring our 10 month old kitten on honeymoon with us."
He really enjoyed the big windowsill in the lounge but wasn't a fan of how windy it could get when taken out for walks on his lead.
-
"Excessive promotional emails following booking."
these could be reduced to make greater impact. Not all were read and most deleted without much thought.
-
"Our second stay at this cottage."
It's still as clean and comfortable as we remembered it. The cottage is dog friendly and in a great location. The owners are friendly and welcoming and we would highly recommend this cottage for a relaxing holiday.
-
"Couldn't have chosen a better cottage for our holiday."
Delightful, tasteful decor and furnishings - and really well and thoughtfully equipped. Felt at home immediately.. The agency photos simply don't do it justice! The views across the valley, from the lounge and garden are truly stunning. You feel you're away from it all, yet the wonderful historic town of Whitworth, with a good selection of shops and eating places, is is only a few minutes drive away. Loads of fabulous places to visit, under a half hour drive away. (And it is genuinely dog friendly!) Can't wait to return!
-
"We received a warm welcome."
The cottage was spotless and very comfortable. We made good use of the large garden with the weather being so good. The views are fantastic, ideally located for walking and sightseeing in the Derbyshire Dales.
-
"Superb quality accommodation."
Very clean and tidy with a welcoming bottle of wine, biscuits for the dog and a bottle of milk in the fridge. Very quite and peaceful and just as described. We forgot an item of clothing when we left and the owner very kindly posted it on to us. Brilliant.

About the location
ALDERWASLEY
Wirksworth 2 miles; Belper 7 miles.
Alderwasley is a scattered area of farms and a couple of local pubs located in lovely rolling countryside with undisturbed views for miles, on the southern borders of the Peak District National Park. Nearby Wirksworth is a small, charming market town on the edge of the White Peak, and is full of character, with many buildings of architectural interest, including its magnificent parish church. Visitors will enjoy exploring the ancient "jitties" and courtyards, and the National Stone Centre, as well as the delightful surrounding countryside including nearby Carsington Water and the High Peak Trail. Rock climbing and cycling can be enjoyed here at every level, and there is good walking all around. Well Dressing is unique to Derbyshire, and Wirksworth combines this tradition with a lively carnival. The annual Arts festival attracts international performers of every kind. Close to Alderwasley is Belper which is a town with a long and famous history dating back to the 13th Century, when it was then called Beaurepaire (beautiful retreat), a name that still holds true today. Now a spirited and bustling town, attractions include the North Mill, Long Row and the River Gardens. Beautiful Chatsworth House, Shottle Hall and Haddon Hall are within easy reach, as well as Matlock Bath with its spectacular cable car, the newly restored Ecclesbourne Valley Railway and Gulliver's Kingdom. Only 2 miles away, the Derwent Valley Mills World Heritage Site in Cromford is not to be missed. A great location for a varied holiday.
